Stable and radiocarbon isotope compositions of DOC and DIC in Southeast Asian drainage canals

This dataset contains the stable and radiocarbon isotope compositions of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and radiocarbon isotope compositions of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) produced during DOC microbial respiration and photomineralization in canal waters sampled across disturbed peatlands in West Kalimantan, Indonesia in 2022.  Microbial respiration and photomineralization experiments were carried out during laboratory incubations and natural sunlight exposures of canal water samples, respectively.  Significant changes in the radiocarbon isotope composition of DIC between treatment and control waters were detected using a headspace extraction technique followed by a small-carbon extraction line for radiocarbon samples.  Each data file contains a "README" tab with a guide for variable units and descriptions.
